Measuring a Standard and a Batch 

  

 

 
To measure a new standard, select the 

Standard Mode

 icon 

from the 

Live Bar

 

 

 
The screen will display the data for the current standard. If this 
is a new instrument, the current standard will be named 
“Demo Standard”.  The program must have a stored standard 
to operate, and the unit is shipped with a “demo standard”. 
 
To measure a new standard, place the instrument on the 
standard and press the instrument measurement button.  
 
After the measurement is taken, the program will display the 
absolute L*a*b* data for the new standard. 

 

 

 
By default, the new standard will be auto named, based on the 
current date and time. The standard naming method can be 
selected in the Options screen. 
 
To measure another standard, place the instrument on the 
standard and press the measurement button. As long as you 
remain in 

Standard 

mode, each measurement you make 

creates a new standard. 

 

 

 

 
If you want to measure a batch to compare to the current 
standard, you must select the 

Batch Mode

 icon on the 

Live

 

Bar
